Episode 177: Cut Yourself Some Slack

On Today’s Show

Author and speaker Mike Robbins talks about how developing self-compassion can to contribute towards a more fulfilled life. And one of the key determinants of our ability to make the kind of changes we want to make in our lives is that sense of forgiveness and self-compassion.

1 Simple Thing Action:

Be kind to yourself. Stop focusing so much on the outcome of what we’re doing, and acknowledge ourselves for the courage it takes just to show up and get in the game. Whether we succeed or fail, acknowledging ourselves for just showing up can give us more confidence to keep showing up, and eventually start mastering whatever we’re doing.

The challenge Mike presents in his workshops and when coaching people:
Make eye contact with yourself in the mirror and say the words like, “I love you,” or “I appreciate you,” or “I’m grateful for you.” And use your name. Look yourself in the mirror and say, “I love you Mike,” or “I appreciate you Mike.” Talk to yourself like you would talk to someone you care about.
